Neil Patrick Harris wants funny Oscars writers

THE ‘How I Met Your Mother’ actor, Neil Patrick Harris, is to host the 2015 Academy Awards and though he is “thankful” to have landed the prestigious job, he doesn’t know yet what will happen during the show.

He told ‘Access Hollywood’, “I legitimately have no idea what the content of the show will be yet.

“I’m just thankful that I get to be a part of it this year.

“We are actively hiring writers so if you know anyone funny, Tweet me.”

The ‘Gone Girl’ star has previously admitted he wants to keep the Oscars – which take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on February 22 – “classy”.

The 41-year-old actor said, “I don’t want them to be super derivative of other shows that I’ve done. I don’t want it to seem like I’m doing the same award hosting gig that I did on the Tonys, just now on a different stage.” – BANG!
